THE CLASSIFIED DRIVER LICENSE

BOTH THE TERMS OPERATOR'S LICENSE AND CHAUFFEUR'S LICENSE MAY BE FADING FROM THE VOCABULARY OF DRIVER LICENSING OFFICIALS. SOME STATES ARE NOW AMENDING THEIR MOTOR VEHICLE CODES TO PROVIDE A NEW DRIVER LICENSING SYSTEM THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE ISSUANCE OF JUST ONE LICENSE - A DRIVER LICENSE. COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE CLASSIFIED DRIVER LICENSE SYSTEM, IT IS A METHOD OF LICENSING DRIVERS THAT REQUIRES THE EXAMINATION OF APPLICANTS BY TYPE OF VEHICLE TO BE DRIVEN AND THE ISSUANCE OF A LICENSE THAT IDENTIFIED AND THE LEGISLATIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM ARE DISCUSSED. MANY PROBLEMS STILL REMAIN TO BE SOLVED BEFORE THE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM WILL BE NATIONALLY ACCEPTED AND UNIFORMLY EFFECTIVE. HOWEVER, MOST DRIVER LICENSING OFFICIALS BELIEVE THE CLASSIFIED LICENSE IS A BETTER METHOD OF MATCHING THE DRIVER TO THE VEHICLE AND THEREBY IMPROVING THE SAFETY OF HIGHWAY TRAVEL.
